Who we work for

And what they think

Shed Research played a key role in the business plan gaining approval from the Council’s Cabinet and, as a result, the people of Bristol will see their energy company launching later this year.

Bristol City Council

David White, Bristol Energy Programme Manager

Dan's a sophisticated thinker who never over complicates things. His recommendations are always clear and relevant to the commercial realities. Everyone at Quietroom looks forward to working with Dan.

Vision Critical

When I needed some senior insight expertise at OneFamily, Dan was the first person I thought of… He has presented on a number of occasions to our senior executive team and built himself a great reputation within the business.

Shed Research has been an invaluable partner for Bristol Energy from the outset. Dan is truly insightful and collaborative in his approach. He provides clear recommendations, as part of his deeper understanding of the sector and Bristol Energy’s business objectives

Bristol Energy

James Robertson, Head of Marketing

Dan has the knack of sharing knowledge and learning in the most simple and innovative manner... His enthusiasm and positive attitude are very infectious.

Legal & General

Saurabh Bahadur, former Customer Insight Manager

Older people are all too often looked at as a homogenous group – this research has shown that older people aren’t all the same.... The steering group found it an invaluable input into refining our strategy and prioritising the action plan for the sector.

I have worked with many research consultancies over many years - Shed is exceptional. They bring a rare combination of skill and know-how.

Shrinkwrap Consulting

Sue Tunstall, Director

Great set of slides summarising the outcome of the research, meant no further analysis was required - resulted in much less head scratching than previous research I have commissioned.

Dan has the seniority to speak authoritatively to senior research buyers and users and delivered the feedback we wanted, on time and without fuss. I highly recommend him.

Dan is a very accomplished, credible and smart researcher who understands what’s useful for us to know and can interpret client feedback with great empathy.

As well as being a pleasure to collaborate with, Dan delivered findings and advice that have been invaluable in helping us understand what our clients value most about us and what direction is best for us in the longer term.
